Whether standalone was available is irrelevant at time of booking. Same in reverse; if starting with availability standalone, cannot add a connecting sector unless married sector availability exists
As I said, this is a huge unannounced change if true. It sounds like supposition.
Nothing has indicated that AA is implementing married logic as you outline it (i.e., that the reverse holds true). You have always been able to add segments to existing awards if available.
